However, gating criteria for efficacy were not met for expansion beyond 80 patients in phase II and the sponsor did not continue development of the combination of spartalizumab and lacnotuzumab for oncology indications. The potential signal of activity in pancreatic cancer should be further explored.

Pexidartinib is the first CSF-1 receptor inhibitor approved for the treatment of TGCT. Here, we discuss various available treatment strategies and ongoing investigations and trials targeting diffuse TGCT, which include nilotinib, lacnotuzumab, cabiralizumab, vimseltinib, and emactuzumab.
MCS110 in combination with dabrafenib and trametinib was reasonably well tolerated in a small melanoma population. One response was observed in this small sample of patients suggesting this combination might be worthy of further exploration.

Despite successful target engagement and anticipated pharmacokinetic profile, lacnotuzumab+gem-carbo showed comparable antitumor activity to gem-carbo alone, with slightly poorer tolerability. However, the data presented in this manuscript would be informative for future studies testing agents targeting the CSF-1-CSF-1R pathway in TNBC.
Flow cytometric, circulating total CSF1 in plasma and gene expression profiling results demonstrated that targeting CSF-1 with lacnotuzumab in the periphery and tumor microenvironment leads to decrease in monocytes and reduced expression of macrophage associated genes in patients with advanced cancers. Unfortunately, in the heavily pretreated patient populations studied in this trial, only a limited clinical efficacy was demonstrated.
